"The heist had officially begun. " Will Merrick be eventually surprised?

Elias was found out by his father to be having a gay relationship with a boy. His father was appalled and banished him to run a plantation he owned in the Kingdom of Hawaii. He may never be asked back . Elias is thrown out essentially from the family and may need to take charge of his own future. Will he grow up or crack? His comfortable life as he has known it has ended. This is a time of great turmoil. The US just won what is California in a war that ended in February of this year, 1848. Hawaii is run as a kingdom till 1898 and large plantations were enabled only after 1850 when a new law was passed. Legal matters need to be solved. Augustus Wentworth will have his hands full.

Mark's effort to reach Sandro and apologize at the party went way off track when someone hit him and threw him into Sandro. Both guys were shocked and Sandro read the hit the wrong way and thought Mark intended to hit and hurt him Mark is devastated. Is this over for them? How can he recover and tell Sandro his true feelings? Can someone who saw the hit tell Sandro Mark was pushed into him by someone else? Or, can Mark find a third person to be a neutral voice to bring them to a meeting so they can talk honestly.

What a glaring visual example which must indicate you are focusing on Merrick. You are writing about a cruel, egocentric monster who seeks to dominate and ground opponents into dust. He does not expect anyone can stop him and thinks his subversive actions are hidden from sight and not seen as lead by him until he springs his traps. He will always show others are defective or guilty Your next chapters should be fascinating with Merrick riding high. I somehow think he will not get everything he wants in the end and will cheer at his downfall. He might be surprised by his opponents. But, we will see.....

I almost thought this meeting with Esca be like a large predator vs small predator in Jurassic Park with Declan turned into a nasty meal. However, Declan turned the tables on him and destroyed his threat to obliterate and wipe him and his pack off the earth. Esca was dumbfounded by what Declan said showing his business was tied up and realized his threats were really meaningless until he could develop new ones. His shotgun was relegated to be a sterile piece of art. His 1950 era cherry smelling pipe tobacco became an unpleasant lingering odor. ( I preferred vanilla scented pipe tobacco myself) Declan won round one against Esca and then won round two by giving Andy a perfect used leather jacket that supremely comforted him. Finally, Declan won round three by making sure Andy was given a barely heated hamburger full of bloody juices that ended his famine from the sterile substance Esca provided. Andy's juvenile prank will not stop the good mood Declan created. Andy should be a more assertive vampire when he returns to his home/prison.

Alastair is a total, unredeemable bastard. He relishes breaking people and running roughshod over them. The doctored photo of Will and Jason will be used to scare three conservative Can Am board members to fear the merger. Will is going to be crucified by leaks to the press. Kellerman will be the scapegoat when an inquiry seeks to learn what happened and who leaked. Merrick sees that the board members will dump their shares and the share price will severely drop. His agents will buy the deflated stock and he will in turn be in control of the Can Am. He will set a very high price to Avery-Woods. Merrick will regain control of the law firm and his laundering plans will continue. Gable will still be under his control. Merrick has set up a complex plan and assumes it will succeed in the way and time he expects. He has redirected hundreds of millions of cash already to be ready to buy the expected shares when they are dumped on the market. Of course, Merrick is undertaking action that is massively illegal, if found out. If the plan crushed, Merrick might be financially ruined Merrick assumes Marcus can give him incriminating tapes and other data to cement his case against Will as a child predator But, Marcus is still in jail and maybe speaking freely fearing his charges. The lawyer he thought would save him walked away from him. The more Marcus is scared, the more he is open for a plea deal. Merrick cannot get the material he wants if Marcus is in jail. I can expect Merrick to aggressively find a new lawyer for Marcus. But, can he get one before Marcus takes a plea deal and is kept in jail. Will the delay in building a solid case against Will destroy his corporate takeover and cost him heavily? There might be others who will try to stop Merrick. I hope to learn about them.

Lucas does not accept that Andy is lost to him, I believe. He just knows in his heart and overconfident mind that Andy will return to him after this mess is handled. Besides. Ronan's ass needs relief.

I am going to love the scene when Declan meets daddy Esca and hopes he can survive the brutal interrogation. Will Declan get out of the house alive and not severely traumatized and missing body parts? Will Esca put the fear of the devil in him so he and Andy can barely function?

Might Marcus do and say things that hurts his position after his lawyer left him high and dry fearful of what might happen when he is put in prison. Marcus thinks he was abandoned by Merrick and left to fight his own battles. He might want to cut a deal to save himself. Maybe his next lawyer is a public defender. It might take time after a huge, internal battle before Kellerman's firm could decide to send a lawyer to represent Marcus.

Will knows what he has to do and he is a fighter. He is resolute and trustworthy. "But standing in the center of the kitchen, surrounded by the beautiful, traumatized, chaotic family they had built in the ruins of their pasts, Will Carter knew he would fight the entire world to keep them safe." He is not naive. He is aware of the forces trying to hurt the boys and also destroy the merger. He and his friends are ahead of the problems so far. Andrew is helping. Marcus is still in jail. Merrick or his forces have not acted, yet For now, peace is reigning They will face chaos and assaults from Merrick's sick plans later. later. Merrick needs Marcus freed to provide the assembled fake evidence to crush Will and Jason and consequently the merger.

Jack, child of the sun and moon, chose to enter the fray and fight the evil beings trying to kill Vince and Theo. Things are coming together. I bet they will win. Theo could be getting his pack back. The three could be the victorious trio.

What is Cory's lie? Simon exhausted from work late at night hit a wobbly drunk Cory with his car in the midst of a dreary, sad set of estate blocks. Simon is bleeding and Simon picks him up. Simon proceeds to kiss him saying it is Simon's fault. Simon kisses him back feeling excited. Cory drags him home to his bedroom. They get naked. Read on to find out what happens. Will Cory stay straight? Will Simon survive?

Absolutely, never trust a closeted straight guy. You loved a varied and energetic life but survived I am impressed that you can make something like this come alive for us. There was so much danger

It will be fascinating watching the law firm explode. It could split apart. Merrick will want another partner to represent a child molester. It is not a likable issue or client, but someone might step forward at the law firm later. Meanwhile the case against Marcus gets stronger as the kids testify the next day Andrew is going to find out what Merrick is trying to do and might think of ways to sabotage him. The campaign to destroy Will might be put aside to focus on the law firm fight and his effort to control it and launder his and his partners' money. If the anti-Will campaign still happens, Andrew will have more reasons to stop Merrick

Mark confessed he was gay to his family and told his older sister he loved Sandro. Her answer to Mark is talk to Sandro he knows you. Wil it be that simple? Will Mark have to make a very public apology and speak honestly to Sandro? Will Sandro not accept his apology because he is very hurt? What ca Mark do next?

Esca has not anticipated how the wolf pack will respond to defend Andy There has to be a confrontation, Andy is not able to stand up to Esca. The wolf pack and its leaders and maybe the gargoyle could oppose Esca. But, will the really fight Esca?

What will Merrick do since he might see the law firm as you posted? Can he reach out to another partner for help?

Has Kellerman signed his death warrant? He took an unexpected stand on principle Will Merrick order him killed like Darius? Merrick, for now, seems to have lost control of his law firm and possibly ended his plan to use it to launder money. This will be noticed.

16 chapters will give you lots of room for hell and damnation to erupt. Merrick must feel he is in charge and will control the events surprising and tormenting his targets who cannot stand up to him. But things often do not go smoothly. As a famous Prussian General said "No plan survives the first contact with the enemy" Merrick is going to gain Will as an enemy. Will is just coming into his own as a gun wielding terror with a righteous anger BTW. Merrick has to get the money laundering project beginning soon at scale or his drug partners might remove him or really hurt him

OH, Boy The World appears that it is going to be ending soon for Will Merricks is assembling the fake evidence to charge Will as a child molester and criminal. His home is going to explode. Jason is going to be wrecked Merrick intends to crush will and Jason and end the Avery-Woods merger of his law firm can only depend on him. He intends to use this lsaw firm to help the drug profits to be hidden Meriick thinks he has neutralized Will. He does not see Will has taking him on and even killing him after Merrick ruined Will. However, what is Will actually going to do? Might Tanaka help

Xoo--Calen and Hayden might get together in bed. They could be a happy pairing. But, will Hayden first play with Matt and learn what he really likes.

Matt is amazing in action. You can see how he earned his hard, good looking body in the gym. His workout grew to sharing exercises with the assistant crew coach to fucking him in the staff shower area. Both men were very pleased, Returning to his dad role he had breakfast with his family. He noticed his son's room mate checking him out--mm and his wife and daughter were oblivious. Matt seemed to easily attract guys for sex. Life is vrry good for him.

I did not expect Morgan to respond with his true story to Troy but as it worked out they both became closer. Their attraction was natural and clear to each other. They kissed and liked touching each other. They were chaste. Troy told Morgan his fate seems to be to run the ranch. He would prefer to become an artist, but he needs to take over sometime later for his dad who has early-stage Parkinson disease. The timing of the increasing severity of his dad's medical problem is uncertain. At some point his dad will need medical intervention. BTW, I have read 50% of people with Parkinson' develop hallucinations.

Esca works for the firm offering the $10m million reward for a vampire. He submitted the paperwork showing you are his son and paid the Cooper's a fortune for your care. He has legally claimed you. Andy doed not know his motive, Esca left him to burn in 1944 and wanted him dead, Andy was troubled. "I do not know if he is protecting me, or if he is simply fattening the calf before the slaughter." I think I know the answer, Andy is prey and Esca will act on him when he is ready. Marcus, the teacher, told Andy the pack will stand behind him. It could be a nasty fight,

I am grateful for your good thoughts. Your writings always challenge and interest me-- Andy
